    Too bad the Celtics of today can not retool and create a 21st century version of the Championship Celtics Teams of the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's.

    They absolutely have to get Oden. Anything less will not do.

    The sad downfall of a once great NBA franchise, it has to be painful for Celtics fan. When was the last time they had a decent team?
    Seems like it as been ages.

    the last time they had a "decent" team was Birds last season lol.

    I'm a lifer Laker junkie and there is nothing I would rather see than the 76ers and Celtics become legit NBA franchises again. Granted the Lake show needs some more viable players to enter the elite as well. Nothing is better in the NBA when there are legit powerhouses in both conferences. The Laker/Celtics rivalry -- when both teams are at the top -- is one of the greatest in sports.

    The Celtics deserve to get screwed in the lottery for tanking games like they did late in the year. What a disgrace - hope they and their fans enjoy the way they got themselves a high lottery pick.

    Coach guys to lose games and it will be hard to break them of that mentality. I too agree that it would be funny to see them get screwed.

    That is garbage. Pierce was hurt most of the year and they lost more games to injury than any other team. The Grizzles tanked games. The Celtic team played hard all year. The only guy who mentioned tanking games was Gomes. One of the worst defensive players in the league. He is a fat chump who would sit on the bench for most teams.

    gomes knows that if the C's get 1 of the top 2 he's on his way out!!!

    that was a totally different team with pierce, they couldn't win without a go to guy, they got him back and then played solid until he got hurt again.

    I watched most of the games this year. Even during the losing streak they played hard every night. Tony Allen started playing like he did his rookie year until he got hurt and Al Jefferson showed amazing progress. I was pleased with the progress that many players made this year.
  • Options
    I just hope Memphis doesn't get either of those guys because it's nearly impossible to cheer for Memphis and we'll never see them. I could see the C's being pretty decent next year if they got Oden. You start thinking about Oden, Jefferson, Pierce, Rondo, West, etc. and they look pretty decent on paper and very good defensively.

    David Stern can't be happy, I'm sure he would rather see Greg Oden play in a big east coast market like Philly or Boston.

    With Portland, Seattle, Atlanta & Memphis with the top 4 picks....well, D.Stern is definitely not happy. If the Celtics had the #1 pick, it would've been such a great story.

    Well, that sucks.

    The Celtics did not tank games this season, it is foolish to make statements like that - especially if you didn't see any of their games late in the season. I did. It wasn't pretty, but they played hard every night with the players they had.

    Now, Oden will go to the Portland Ex-Convicts, I mean Trail Blazers - and play his career in obscurity.

    From Bill Simmons column today -

    2. CELTICS
    (No. 2 in the Ping-Pong order)

    Bad Luck -- 7
    Front Office Competency -- 2
    Loyalty/History -- 10
    Level of Devastation -- 10
    Overdue Good Karma -- 10
    Tanking Karma -- 0
    Rigging Potential -- 10
    Entertainment Value -- 10


    Tanking Karma - 0. Simmons must be another fool who never watches Celtics games.

    The Celtics would pull their starters in games late last year with a lead after 3 quarters, ultimately losing games they could have won...What team does that?? A tanking team...karma's a beyotch

    LOL. I guess it's easy to hate the Celtics image Since your NY team is just poised to win the championship next year in the NBA image
